Define "grow." Often they sit for the first year as they establish a new root system, but beginning the second or third year you will see new growth. Ideally you don't want excessive growth each year as that produces weak wood. I'd be giddy with 7inches a year, but then I'm not in a prime plant growing region.
Assuming you are in a better growing region, your soils are rich and moisture plentiful, a 6' tree should be at about 10-12 feet tall in four years. By year 15-20 it should be near mature size,depending on species. Even when small, they are still beautiful and worth planting.

To grow from seed takes a very long time. Those saplings you see in a nursery are at least 3-5 years old, usually. And then, to grow from a sapling to a decent-size tree, will take 5-10 years, depending on soil and water. I grew some Texas mountain laurel from seeds once. It took 10 years to get a decent SHRUB size.

Well, I planted one in .... hmmmm, 91 or 92. I moved in 1997 and it was beautiful! Not sure HOW big, but at least 15 feet, full branches, and beautiful blossoms.

It will keep growing your whole life. Get a book and enjoy the possibilities.
